KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 — The Ministry of Health (MOH) is to continue strengthening the support system and access to mental health services nationwide, including through the development of a mental health policy at the workplace, which is currently undergoing an engagement process with stakeholders.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Dzulkefly Ahmad said MOH is engaging with the Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA) and other relevant agencies to ensure the policy is developed comprehensively, taking into account the needs of various parties.
“This process requires broader consultation before the policy can be finalised, to prevent it from being implemented in isolation without sufficient coordination between agencies,” he said during a press conference after officiating the National-Level World Mental Health Month 2026 celebration here today.
